PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX: SView C++ Class Library Porting Efforts make Progress (14/Oct/00)
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The design of the C++ classes is completely platform-independent
 (e.g. regarding endianess) and suitable to be ported for a wide range
 of operating systems, e.g. certain Linux derivates, BeOS or QNX. Additionally,
 no compiler-specific C++ specialities are used ("baseline C++) and utilization
 within a - except that particular part - clean C program is no problem.

 In the meantime the SView class library already successfully has been ported to
 GCC under Linux/x86 (same source tree for Win32 and Linux). [ libsview.a (260K) ]

 Usage with other compilers like e.g. Visual C++ 6 will be as simple.

 Currently the following C++ classes for loading/saving images
 have been done:

    - BMP                   load (1) save (1)
    - C64 (Koala, Doodle)   load (2)
    - GIF (87a/89a)         load (2) save (2)  (*)
    - IFF-ILBM              load (1) save (1)
    - PCX                   load (1) save (1)
    - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)     load (3) save (1)
    - JPEG (IJG-JFIF)       load (1) save (1)  (*)
    - PhotoCD (max 768x512) load (1)
    - PNG (PiNG)            load (1) save (1)  (*)
    - SGI                   load (1) save (1)
    - SunRaster (RAS)       load (1) save (1)
    - Targa                 load (1) save (1)
    - TIFF                  load (1) save (1)  (*)
    - TIM (PSX)             load (1)

 So, we already can load 18 different file formats and save 11!

 In the works:

    - FBM, QRT
